Abstract: Using literature, video observations and other research methods, the paper analyzes the competition situation and patterns of world women horse-vaulting at the 30th Olympic Games and the shortcomings of Chinese women's horse-vaulting. The results indicate a relative concentration of movements, slow development in high difficulty and high score movements and an urgent need of improvement in movement quality and landing stability. Chinese women athletes are faced with a dilemma of monotonous movements, insufficient backups and weak overall strength. Therefore the paper proposes that China's relevant departments should pay attention to the overall development of the horse-vaulting and layout; enrich movements according the athletes' characteristics in the training of high level women horse-vaulting athletes and be aware of and understand new rules in time.
